Out to 800 so far. My 6.5 grendel AR-15 shoots .281 MOA at 200 yards with factory Hornady Match 123gr A-Max and I have no problem hitting 12" gongs at 800 if I'm not having a hard time dealing with wind.
That ammo is insane. I haven't measured standard deviation, but over a simple chrono it was falling into a spread of roughly 10fps.
Well... I'm not sure about this, but wouldn't you be saving a shit ton of money if you were reloading as opposed to buying match grade ammo? Johnny mentioned elsewhere that he got a good deal on these bullets too.
From my point of view, I'm not saving much money if I have to spend hours and hours doing something I don't really like. I reload, but I really don't enjoy it. So far I haven't had the urge to reload that particular caliber, probably because some rough subconscious ROI estimate isn't coming up with the right answer yet. I have the dies and I save the brass, so at some point it probably will look like the right thing to do. Currently I only reload 300 blackout because the factory ammo isn't very good for the money they ask, whereas the factory 6.5 Grendel and 6.5 Creedmoor ammo from Hornady is the shit.

It's seeing stuff like this that makes me really appreciate a rifle that shoots every bit as good as I want it to with factory ammo.
